Error description
When taking a backup of a snapshot of a fileset using mmbackup, with management class binding via "include" statement in place, the management class binding does not work, other then for a root snapshot. For example: Include looks like: include /gpfs_filesystem_name/fs00/vtl/.../* MC_VTL Snapshot looks like this: mmlssnapshot fs00 <enter> Snapshots in file system fs00: Directory SnapId Status Created Fileset two 13 Valid Mon Apr 3 12:38:15 2017 When management class binding is successful, it will show the backup using Mgmt Class MC_VTL. mmbackup command to backup the root snapshot is: mmbackup /gpfs_filesystem_name/fs00/vtl -N rb-gpfs-01 --tsm-servers=tsm-gpfs --scope=inodespace -t full Then checking with: dsmc q backup "/gpfs_filesystem_name/fs00/vtl/d/*" -se=tsm-gpfs Accessing as node: NODE_NAME Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I File ---- ----------- ---------- --- ---- 0 B 04/03/2017 12:59:06 MC_VTL A /gpfs_filesystem_name/fs00/vtl/d/two.d 0 B 04/03/2017 12:59:06 MC_VTL A /gpfs_filesystem_name/dir_name/vtl/d/two.d.txt As soon as a non-root snapshot is used the management class binding fails, mand binds to the default management class instead of "MC_VTL". mmbackup command to back up the non-root snapshot: mmbackup /gpfs/fs01/vtl -N rb-gpfs-01 --tsm-servers=tsm-gpfs -S two --scope=inodespace -t full (notice "-S two" indicates it is a non-root snapshot) Checking again with: dsmc q backup "/gpfs_filesystem_name/fs00/vtl/d/*" -se=tsm-gpfs Node Name: NODE_NAME-01 Accessing as node: NODE_NAME Size Backup Date Mgmt Class A/I File ---- ----------- ---------- --- ---- 0 B 04/03/2017 12:58:19 DEFAULT A /gpfs_filesystem_name/fs00/vtl/d/two.d 0 B 04/03/2017 12:58:19 DEFAULT A /gpfs_filesystem_name/fs00/vtl/d/two.d.txt now shows the backup data bound to default management class. Tivoli Storage Manager and IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected: Client 6.4.x, 7.1.x and 8.1.x and higher on all supported platforms Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: TSM IBM Spectrum Protect snapshot mgmtclass rebind include mmbackup

If able, change the default mgmtclass to be the desired managment class needing to be used by non-root snapshot backup.
